Damnit, I wanted to put this thread up, I'm the biggest fan of the movies here! Yes, I got tickets for the midnight showing, and the day after. The reviews should start coming in this week, some British mag had a review up allready but it was a fake. Next week the soundtrack will be out, then the week after the movie itself is out I'm going to read the Two Towers again starting tommorow.
Some things you can probably bet on allready-
Best cgi ever for Gollum. The main reason is because of his performance (its been rumored the academy is considering a new catagory for cgi performances...).
Intense as hell battles, this movie will be less fantasy driven and more gritty. Many reports have said the battle of Helm's Deep is 45 minutes, some more like 15 minutes. I'm thinking 15, 45 is just too much and would take up too much room for the story.
